Re: No one to talk to
I had my ectopic 5 weeks ago I was carrying twins, one was in the womb one in tube I lost both of them. it's been hard to cope I don't even know who I am any more. I feel like I'm just dragging myself through life, and my partner just doesn't understand.
Re: No one to talk to
That must be really difficult. My partner is the same we have argued again tonight Things just aren't right and don't even have the energy to try and figure it out.
Have you got anyone else you can talk too?

Re: No one to talk to
Firstly apologies for not responding sooner, I have been away for a short time.
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss and the difficult time you have been going through.
When we experience ectopic pregnancy we are suddenly faced with a life threatening emergency and it's treatment, reduction in fertility, concerns about the future and the loss of our babies. Experiencing any one of these is an ordeal, putting them together is immense and your feelings are completely normal as you have seen from the very kind replies you have received.
I truly understand how difficult it felt seeing your baby on the scan picture, but please try not to feel guilty, there is no right or wrong way to deal with everything we experience. From the bottom of my heart, there is nothing you could have done to prevent the ectopic pregnancy from happening. I cannot emphasise enough - you are not to blame. Please be kind to yourself and I send you gentle hugs.
There is no time frame for how long it takes us to heal emotionally and it is completely normal to feel anxious about the future. We will never forget our pregnancy or babies but we can learn to accept what has happened and crucially understand that it wasn't our fault.
We are all here for you for as long as you need.
Sending much love,
Karen x
